One of today's most popular brands of kids' clothing got it's start due to non-fitting jeans. In 1969, Doris and Don Fisher opened the first GAP store. Don couldn't find a pair of jeans that fit correctly, and the rest, they say, is history. The pair never expected to grow into a large retail chain, but by being guided by compassion and a strong desire to win, the Fishers grew their company thoughtfully, with customers responding in kind.

Gap, Inc. is one of today's leading international specialty retailers, boasting six brands-Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, Athleta, Piperlime and INTERMIX. Gap Kids and Gap Outlets round out the clothing empire. The company owns nearly 3,700 stores and has more than 150,000 employees on their payroll.

• Website can be overwhelming
